The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

This may be a question only AngelIII can answer. Not sure.

Here is my query:

SELECT DISTINCT
ms.Qtransnum_1 , ms.Qreportmonth_1,
ms.Qbranch_1 AS branch, r.Branch_Name, dc.DistrictName, dc.DistrictCode, rc.RegionName, rc.RegionCode,
CAST(ms.Q59 AS nvarchar(4000))
FROM tbl_Mstr_Consumer_Survey ms INNER JOIN
tbl_Region r ON tbl_Mstr_Consumer_Survey.Qbranch_1 = r.Branch INNER JOIN
tbl_District_Contact dc ON dc.DistrictCode = r.DistrictCode INNER JOIN
tbl_Region_Contact rc ON rc.RegionCode = dc.RegionCode INNER JOIN
tbl_comment c ON c.TransNum = tbl_Mstr_Consumer_Survey.Q33_1
WHERE (ms.Qreportmonth_1 IN (9))

Here is my error:
"Cannot sort a row of size 8151, which is greater than the allowed maximum of 8094"

When I remove the field r.branch_name, the query works. The longest string I have in r.branch_name is 37 characters. What the hell?
